Over exerted myself today a little and have pulled a muscle in my groin. Unfortunately that was only the practice for tomorrow! 😭😅

Not to sound like 'old man shouting at cloud' but why do Podcasts and TV shows have 'coming up' intros - which just spoil the punchlines/content - I'm already watching so don't ruin it for me right off the bat.

My latest model purchase is some buffer stops. A drunken, pointless purchase for my shelf layout but, tbh, they do look cool!
A white shelf with model train tracks ending in a red buffer stops with two red illuminated lights on a post above.

Probably many people tbh. But I have defeated them! (Unplugged and replugged everything back in - I guess something could have been knocked by the plumbers yesterday)

I get my water pressure fixed and the next day my home networking has stopped connecting to my PC and only my PC and I can't diagnose it 😭😭

I feel like she's the Kate Garroway of this season, kept solely because she poses no threat to the traitors.

Etiquette question: Is it rude to pour yourself an alcoholic drink when you've got trades round working on things in your property? Like should I offer them something but also I don't think drinking whiskey whilst replacing pipework is a good idea.

Whilst I did enjoy watching The Traitors in a bar last night - it was far too noisy and I need to re-watch it and actually pay attention and relish it.

The meter is in my utility cupboard - perhaps luckily. I also do know where the upstream shutoff is in the corridor in the event of a major leak/issue.

Mitch @coastermitch.bsky.social · 01/10/2026
It's bound to be even more complicated as I'm in a leasehold I'm not sure whether I or the management company are responsible for the meter and engaging with Thames Water.

After waiting 2 months and a plumbing engineer to replace a junction. I've still got water pressure like a limp dick and now need to get Thames water to come out and look at my meter! 😭

Finally, the ROSCOs should not exist, all they really do is sap money out of the railways.

Just played a game of JetLag Hide & Seek with friends will award kudos (maybe a free pint if I'm feeling generous) to whoever can identify this station in London from the picture:

As someone with family in the vicinity of West Drayton: it's not far off. As a train nerd I'm more confused about how Victoria station connects to West Drayton though?!

Why does my phone think this is a suitable notification when I'm in the middle of a flight?

Good idea. I just thought about one overlooking Clapham junction but that's lacking the weather for an infinity pool (not that that'll stop the gays from wearing Speedos)

Mitch @coastermitch.bsky.social · 23/09/2026
Someone should build an infinity pool overlooking an airfield. Us nerdy and thirsty gays would go wild for that.

As a regular from Heathrow it's strange going to small airports that won't even check you in until 2 hours before.

Last afternoon of holiday and reading a favourite book.
Me holding a kindle in front of a pool, the text on the kindle reads: "I'm coming to the cottage"

I'm such a cheapskate that I went to the off-licence opposite my hotel and got 3 Miniatures and a can of mixer for £7 rather than paying £8 for one drink in the hotel bar.

Random observation; tipping culture has completely escaped Gibraltar. I've not tipped once since I've been here but still received great and friendly service. Screw American tipping culture!

As someone who had to deal with an outage caused by a fibre cable fault at work last week - I'm glad my work isn't as important as ATC!

Prestwick outage earlier and an FAA outage in the Northeast US. Praying something to cancel my Wednesday evening flight so I don't have to work Thursday/Friday.

I think it's OK from what I've looked up, with the highlight being the runway views, although I think the top of the rock beats whatever it's offering - although I'll take a free lunch 🤷🏻‍♂️

Mitch @coastermitch.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
I can imagine. I'm currently debating whether to walk to the airport for my return journey or get a taxi. Could lose valuable lounge time if I get stuck waiting to be able to cross the runway

Mitch @coastermitch.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
For the many aviation nerds on here, the view over Gibraltars runway from the rock is outstanding. (It's a shame there is only 5 or 6 flights/day)
